About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats throughout my entire life whether it was for working families, friends and neighbors in NJ! For a few years, I used to volunteer at the local animal shelter where I’d help bathe kittens, take their dogs outside and play with our furry friends seeking homes. Being around younger or older pets for years has allowed me to pick up signs and stay calm if accidents happen, whether your pet missed the litter box or regurgitated their meal. I’m always glad to help out where and when I can! I mostly work from home where I have a bit more control over my schedule. Early mornings or late evenings are always flexible! If I receive enough notice, I’m glad to accommodate your pets needs throughout the day on any weekday or weekends as well! I have prior experience being with a wide range of larger outdoor pets and smaller indoor pets who are cage trained or not. I’m glad to keep them company, spend time with their favorite toys and make sure they’re cleaned up after! From previous experience, I have a keen eye on a pets body language and can get a sense if some may need more space than others. However, I’ll always be accommodating if some pets need to let their energy out more than others! Similar to my own cat, on a daily basis, I make sure to set aside 30 minutes of play time with them in the day time and the evening to lessen the “zoomies”!

“Cheryl was lifesaver by helping me with a last minute drop in for my two (very large) pups! She gave detailed updates, was sensitive to each dogs needs, and was very friendly. She even stopped by before the first job to introduce herself and meet the pups in person. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again for my drop in / walking needs.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a big family of pet lovers where dogs and cats were always running around, so caring for animals comes naturally to me! I currently have three dogs of my own, including my sweet 15 yr old yorkie and a lively tuxedo kitten. Because of my experience with my senior dog and my kitten, I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy kitten playtime to gentle, attentive care for senior pets who need extra patience or meds. As a nursing student, I bring a detail oriented, calm, and responsible approach to every visit, ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away. I am currently in nursing school, which gives me great availability in the afternoons and evenings for walkies, drop-in visits, feeding, and play sessions. I am also fully open and available for overnight house sitting! I make sure to structure my routine around your pet’s exact schedule so their day feels completely seamless. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and treat every animal like my own family. During house sitting or drop-ins, I stick strictly to your feeding, walking, and medication instructions, send frequent photos and updates, and ensure your home stays secure. My nursing background means I’m naturally attentive to subtle changes in energy, behavior, or comfort.

About: I’ve fostered senior dogs through a local rescue and have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including housesitting for multiple dogs at once. I'm currently working from home part time, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I've got plenty of time for individual attention for your pup(s)! I will follow your detailed instructions about your pet's preferences, likes/dislikes, the amount of time they need to be walked, and if/how you like to be contacted if I encounter anything out of the ordinary.

About: I love animals, most of the time I'd rather interact and show compassion towards pets over people. Growing up we had SIX indoor cats while also caring for a feral cat colony in our backyard. Very familiar with all aspects of pet care, I have volunteered at a couple local shelters such as HAAL & Tabby's Place. My father's family used to train and show German Shepherds, so while I've never owned my own dog I am very comfortable caring for and walking pups. I'm an athletic male with the strength to safely walk bigger, stronger dogs. In another life I would have dedicated myself to becoming an actual veterinarian. Very passionate about your fur babies and the bond that most people share with their animals! Open availability during the week, morning & night. Walks, pet care, pet sitting and overnights. Weekends are scheduled but still open enough to take on a couple commitments. Walks & pet care, NO overnights unless scheduled a week before I prioritize the safety and well-being of both pets and their owners in every service I provide. In my own home, I maintain a secure, clean, and pet-friendly environment, ensuring all pets have a comfortable space tailored to their needs. In clients' homes, I respect their space while ensuring pets are safe and well cared for. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise routines precisely, secure doors and gates to prevent escapes, and monitor pets for any signs of stress or discomfort. Hygiene is a top priority—I sanitize hands and equipment between visits to prevent cross-contamination. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners."

My pup Rosie really loved being with them! They took extra special care of her as she is new to my home and still adjusting to being out of the shelter. 5 stars for Tracy and Steven - will book again!

Amanda took very good care of our Russian Blue cat Thor for several days while we were out of town. Amanda connected very well with Thor at the meet and greet. Also, Amanda was available all the times we had requested her to do check in. Amanda did a very good job! I recommend Amanda to take care of your cat or dog so you can leave with peace of mind.

Kyra is the BEST! Helped me out with a last minute request for a walk and hangout session with my new rescue pup. Kyra is so kind, warm, welcoming, and loving. My pup Rosie loved her the second they met, and the rest is history. Kyra was so communicative and kept me posted on how she was doing, which was very important to me as a new dog dad. Thank you Kyra for taking such good care of both of us!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Caldwell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Caldwell is $44 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $56 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 26,975 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Caldwell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Caldwell. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
